Positive Reviews

Peaceful and scenic setting.

The hotel is surrounded by acres of private grounds with a horse-paddock and chickens that roam freely. There is a lovely water feature at the back of the Castle and the
surrounding woodland provide a relaxing and picturesque backdrop. This rural idyll suited many guests who appreciated to be away from the hustle and bustle of city life.

Charming and elegant communal areas.

The library bar with its comfy leather sofas and open fire places together with the equally elegant dining rooms were praised by many guests who appreciated the old-world charm of
these communal rooms.

Spacious and comfortable rooms.

The majority of the guest rooms have been described as spacious with places to sit and watch TV or just relax. Many guests appreciated the large windows which provided great views
of the surrounding grounds. There was ample storage space in the rooms and the bathrooms were also said to be spacious and modern.

Negative Reviews

Slow service at the bar.

Guests complained about having to wait for a long time in order to get served at the bar. Many objected having to go in search of the bar-men as the bar was often unmanned during
various times of the day and evening.

Noisy weddings.

The hotel grounds are often used as a venue for wedding receptions with large marquees placed on the lawn, underneath the windows of many of the guest rooms. Loud music and unruly
behaviour of the wedding party guests prevented many from getting a good night’s sleep.

Remote location.

The hotel is quite a way away from the nearest shops and cafes whilst the bus stop is a 15-minute walk away. Guests who wanted to dine out were disappointed to find that they had
to drive or hire a taxi.
